๐ญS.T. Abby really said, โLetโs ruin your peace and make you question your morals,โ and I ate it up like the morally ambiguous gremlin I am.
All the Lies? Absolutely brilliant and deeply disturbing.
Lana Myers is on a mission for revenge, and her past? Holy hell. I was bracing for the dark, but NOTHING couldโve prepared me for the nightmare she endured. The things done to her, her brother Marcus, and their dad were so gut-wrenching that I had to take a breather. And the fact that the monsters responsible were just *teenagers* when they committed those atrocities? Itโs horrifying on a whole other level. No wonder Lana is out here serving poetic justice, one bastard at a time. Honestly, if I had any doubts about her list before, theyโre GONE now. Those men deserved everything she dished outโif anything, she was *too* kind. Iโve never rooted for a serial killer as hard as I did for Lana.
Then thereโs Logan Bennett. Sweet, brilliant profiler Logan, the last person to figure out his girlfriend is the killer heโs hunting. And honestly? It only happened because Leonard told him. Love is BLIND, yโall. How does the best profiler in the FBI not see through the woman heโs literally sharing a bed with? But when the truth does hit Logan, his reaction? Not cool. I get itโheโs torn between his job, his morals, and his love for Lanaโbut what he did after finding out? That was WRONG on so many levels. Heโs lucky I adore him because I was ready to riot.
Leonard, though, deserves all the awards. When he uncovered Lanaโs secret, I was on the edge of my seat. But instead of blowing it all up, he stood by her, even trying to explain her motives to Logan before spilling the beans. The manโs loyalty is unmatched, and his presence adds so much depth to the story.
And Jake? MY KING. From his unwavering support for Lana to that chillingly brilliant paint-and-lullaby stunt, heโs the perfect partner-in-crime (literally). The way they orchestrated Kyleโs downfall was the chefโs kiss. Justice has never looked so good.
The story is dark, disturbing, and utterly addictive. Abby weaves revenge and romance into a tale that will leave you morally conflicted and desperately needing the next book. The ending? Iโm still recovering.
๐.๐. Can we talk about how on-point the titles in this series are? All the Lies fits perfectlyโbecause this entire book is built on lies so tangled that even the truth canโt straighten them out. If the last book of the series keeps this up, Iโm in for a sleepless night.
๐.๐.๐ Jake not only helped Lana execute the most poetic revenge stunts but also blessed (or cursed?) me with the random fact that ducks have corkscrew penises. I wasnโt ready for this knowledge, and now neither are you.
We can all suffer together in this bizarre trivia hell.

"If Logan and I ruled the world together, Voltaire would consider us the perfect blend."
โIโve never once in my career wondered if I was on the right side of the law. Until today,โ he says quietly.
Revenge killings always make us question our standing."
โItโd better be enough, Jake. If he gets hurt because of me, Iโll fall over that edge, forget what this is all about, and kill without prejudice.โ
My hands shake just thinking of the monster Iโd become if I lost my entire soul.
Jakeโs hand covers my trembling one, and he leans toward me. โIโll reel you back in.โ
I stare at him grimly. โIf Logan is hurt because of meโor for any reasonโyou wonโt be enough.โ
I feel it when the tear escapes, and Jake tenses, seeing the single bit of wet proof of how vulnerable I am because of one man. His lips tighten.
โThen weโll both make sure he stays safe.โ
"what you do for a living doesnโt determine if youโre a monster. And a killer can sometimes be more gentle than a man whoโs never killed before."
"Katie subdued the real monster by loving the man and accepting all of him. Iโm saying I hope our girl has someone doing the same for her, otherwise, she may lose herself to all of this. And it wonโt be the ending she deserves.โ
"I start to speak again, but he grabs my mouth, painfully pushing it closed. The worst thing he could do is what heโs doing now.
Silencing me.
It was the worst part of it all.
Being silenced, because no one wanted to hear.
Now the one person Iโve opened myself up enough to love is silencing me.
I grasp for anger; I search for the cold; but Iโm greeted with nothing but more misery and tears as they cascade with too much freedom.
But heโs cold. Heโs like ice. Yet says what I felt was a lie."
"I thought love would rip my heart out.
I thought it would set me on fire.
Instead, it turned me into ice."
